Plate Armor of Absorption

Adds +8 to AC and reduces melee damage inflicted upon the wearer by 1 point per hit

If a melee attack deals both physical damage and has a secondary effect (e.g., paralysis, sleep, Poison, ennui), as long as all of the physical damage was negated, this armor will negate both the physical damage and secondary effect(s). However, if even 1 HP of damage is not negated, the secondary effect(s) will affect the wearer.
